The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.

What are some non-examples of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
What forces causes the earth's highest tides in the ocean?
The gravity of the moon and sun causes the earth's tides. The greatest tides are called 'spring' tides which occur when the earth, moon and sun are aligned. The moon has the greatest effect on our tides because of its proximity.
What is the effect of the rotation of both the earth and its moon?
the rotation of earth changes days moon is a permanent body
What is the function of the natural greenhouse effect?
The Earth would be a much colder place without the heat trapping effect of CO2 and methane, and life would probably never have evolved without it. The recent increase in greenhouse gasses is something we don't need, though. So,we need it to keep us warm.
What force causes tides to occur on Earth's surface?
the gravitational pull of the moon

What does the greenhouse effect maintain?
The greenhouse effect maintains temperature. Another word for a greenhouse is "hothouse." Without the greenhouse effect of our atmosphere, earth's surface would be more like that of the moon--baked during the day and cold at night. Just not quite as severe, as the lunar day is a month long.

When the earth the moon and the sun are in line what can occur?
When the Earth, Sun and Moon are in line an eclipse can occur.
Spring tides occur when the moon is in a?
When the moon is aligned to the sun and the earth: MOON --> EARTH --> SUN
Do solar eclipses occur at full or new moon?
New moon (the Earth goes into the shadow of the Moon) Lunar eclipses occur at full moon (the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow)
What must happen for a new moon to occur?
For a new moon to occur the moon must be between earth and the sun
Does the lunar eclipse occur when the moon is at its greatest distance from earth and the moon is new?
No on both points. The lunar eclipse can occur only at Full Moon, and has no connection with the moon's distance from earth.
What two factors determine when tides occur?
The rotation of the Earth and the moon
Does A new moon occur when the moon is between Earth and the sun?
Yes
Why does an eclipse of the moon occur?
It happens when the Moon enters Earth's shadow.
